During the protests, Elliot faced heavy backlash after a video of him speaking at a plenary session of the Lagos state House of Assembly surfaced, where he referred to Nigerian youths as children.
This ultimately led to him being labeled 'Nigeria Twitter’s number one scapegoat', as memes and banter from users targeted him for days.
In an interview on Nollywood On Radio, the Lagos lawmaker recalled being trapped in his Surulere constituency office due to the curfew, only to face a life-threatening ambush.
He said
“When there was curfew during the EndSARS period, a lot of bad boys came into Surulere and because of the curfew I could not go home
I was stuck in Lekki so I could not go home and had to go back to my office in Surulere.
I was inside my office and never knew there was going to be anything so I was watching the TV in my office because I had the intention to spend the night at the office.
Next thing, I heard my landlady’s daughter screaming, saying I don’t stay there.
When I knew there was a problem was when a bottle with fuel and fire was thrown into my office and it caught fire.
I had to call the chief of staff for help. I have never been so scared in my life, it was horrible.”
